Rabat, the refulgent capital City of Morocco is beautiful and neat

A street scene in downtown Rabat, Morocco

It is high time Governor Mike Sonko and his team struggling to make Nairobi more hospitable and welcoming made a bench marking trip to Rabat, the centuries old capital of Morocco on the northern shores of the Atlantic Ocean that fascinates with its sheer beauty and elegance.

I bet they would be staggered by the city’s sheer cleanliness, refulgent lighting system and efficient traffic flow. Hawkers, street urchins, idle crowds and junks equivalent of matatu that are a constant eye sore in Nairobi are non-existent in Rabat.
